Liverpool's ownership battle went into injury time yesterday as Tom Hicks and George Gillett lost a High Court ruling in London, but carried the fight to a Texas court room and a Friday hearing.
The ruling increases the likelihood that the 18-time English champions will be sold to New England Sports Ventures (NSEV), owners of US Major League Baseball's Boston Red Sox, but the legal fight is far from finished.
American businessmen Hicks and Gillett suffered a setback on Thursday when the London court ruled their attempt to use a US court to block the sale of the club to NESV was invalid.
Judge Christopher Floyd strongly condemned their actions of obtaining an injunction in a court in Texas yesterday, saying their conduct had been "unconscionable".
Floyd granted anti-suit injunctions in a bid to nullify decisions taken by Texas District Court judge Jim Jordan in Dallas, imposing a 1500GMT Friday deadline on Hicks and Gillett to withdraw their case in Texas.
